More Trains!

 




Hello all this fine but extra warm day     at least here in the desert.  
Yesterday the dark clouds moved into the area    and produced no rain at all   at least over work. 
Than later   I was spotting lighting all around for over an hour.   But still no rain   at all.   So the dark clouds moving in now     are not going to fool me one bit.   Right now at almost  PM my car says it is only 109 outside.   And we are under an extreme heat warning for the rest of the weekend. 
This has nothing to do with this Exploring blog post   but maybe explains why I am at a coffee shop with air conditioning for sure.  

So a few years ago     Beside the I 10 Highway right about the Marsh Station Exit 
there was hundreds and hundreds of train engines.   One fine day  I snuck onto the property and took pictures.   And than one day they were all gone.   The train engines that is.   
This trip turned into two different Exploring blog posts.   You can find right on this very page. 
Now in the same area is hundreds and hundreds of train cargo cars. 
Months ago     I roamed to the area  to get a closer look and of course get pictures. 
Actually now that I think about it   I think this was late last year.   The dates on my pictures were acting up for a bit there.    As in posting the wrong dates on my photos.   And for me everything is just blending together. 



Before this Adventure of course I needed some coffee. 
Mad Mule Coffee Company in Benson Arizona 
provided that for me with expertise.  
And I needed to get some pictures of there new metal sculpture   the mad Mule!



Close up.











Where I parked    right near the huge ADOT building  that looks long abandoned   but still has huge piles of sand and such inside.    Do not worry the pictures get clearer.  This is before I upgrades my camereas.




When I Explore I VERY often spot lone shoes.
as in one shoe.
On this fine day it was a lone sandal.




No one was around    so I thought I should venture near this great building. 



I do like that in this part of Arizona   you usually have to search for graffiti
And I have pictured a lot.    
Some really is art for sure. 
Especially when I can draw stick people and animals only. 
What eer you wish to call it   This building had a lot   inside and out. 









See   and it is all locked up still. 








It can not all be great art.  




Still inside the building   Dont tell!








Simply look for these signs if you wish to Explore here too.
Just recall it soon turns into Railroad property so might be Private Property.



















Spotted on the ground  Just before I saw the following memorial.
And no I did not pick up the heart rock    it was meant to be right where it was!


















More "Art" down by the tracks.









I was too!
I just did not sign any walls.















Train cars     Again I apologize for the images on this outing. 




























It is a good thing I do not know how to read. 
In fact I often tell people at work   that if I knew how to read   I would have a real job!

















Do not worry     we are almost done with todays Exploring
Mostly because as you can see the sun is setting quickly!















Finally something older than I



























Partial picture frame for the surrounding mountains. 






















Canadian Rail  Aye!















Peeking under.















Parting shot for today      As I was heading back to my car.  







As alwyas I hope you enjoyed this Exploring.
